How It Works

Understanding Invoice Payment Terms

Common Terms

  • Net 30 -- Payment due within 30 days of the invoice date
  • Net 60 -- Payment due within 60 days
  • Net 90 -- Payment due within 90 days
  • Net 10 -- Payment due within 10 days (often used with early payment discounts)

    • The "net" refers to the total amount due. Payment terms are counted from the invoice date, not the date of service.

    Worked Example

    An invoice for $5,000 with Net 30 terms.

    invoice_days = 30invoice_amount = 5000
    1. 01Payment terms: Net 30
    2. 02Days until payment is due: 30 days
    3. 03Weeks until due: 30 / 7 = 4.3 weeks
    4. 04Amount due: $5,000

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Net 30 mean?

    Net 30 means the full invoice amount is due within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. It is the most common payment term in business-to-business transactions.

    What should I do if payment is late?

    Send a reminder on the due date, follow up weekly, and consider adding late payment fees (typically 1-2% per month) to your contracts. For chronically late payers, consider requiring deposits or shorter terms.
